August 22, 1961

Office of Public Information
Wright = Patterson Air Force Base
Dayton, Ohio

Gentlemen:

During the past two weeks I have been visualy observing an object in
orbit around the earth. I first saw it at 00:30 hours on august 6,1961.
Since that time I have seen it some ten times. I have been able to
determine that it takes about twenty-four hours for ib to orbit. It
travels about fifteen rt eb per. hour.I see it every cleaz@ night. It
always comes up about fifteen degrees east of magnetic north and moves
toward the southeast. I followed it!s course Wed. night August 16, for
three a nd one half hours and checked it8s traveled distance at fifty

two and one half degrees, This further proves it's time to orbit as
twenty four hours.

I do not remember hearing of a satalite being put in orbit that would
take this long to orbit. Also if it takes twenty four hours to orbit
and is traveling close to eighteen thousand miles per. hour, to stay
in orbit, it would be some sixty five thousand miles above the earth.
If it is at this altitude, it must be something very large, because it
appears about as bright as a second magnitude star.

I wonder if you have any information as to what it is. If so I hope you
will let me know.
